Online D&D

Resource that allows you to build campaigns online, DM and play them online in full interaction with the players - not had a chance to play with it yet to see how flexible/easy to use it is - but might be worth a play around...

It does look quite cool - although I've not been able to actually play test it yet - so don't know how challenging it would be to actually run a campaign with users - but the editor looks interesting, can use larger prepared maps or get down to very detailed granular map building, and adding creatures looks straighforward - not sure about encounters like traps etc yet - just need to either pick up pre created campaigns others have already implemented for this site, or expend a lot of effort creating your scenarios in prep for the playing - might be good for occasional use of precreated campaigns online for when we can't play together, but for more detailed scenarios you build yourself, the time taken to create them might not be worth the time you'll spending playing them...

I had a tinker with it, it's a fairly straight forward interface with lots of ways to lose your money - buying pre sets .. that would make the compulsive DM perfect there campaign Course you could draw everything yourself for it.

I did like the music side of it, and the card system could be useful if you made a ruleset of D&D 4th ed powers. Working in a web browser is awesome with no software need'd for most.

Having tried NWN over the net with the group (fail) and Phillip's inability to type during lan sesh, doesn't make me think this is doable >.<
